Now for our featured artist!

Bri has an adorable card using the 5458 – Llama Set.

Tell us about your card Bri...

Hello Ai Fans - Bri here! I'm so excited to be introducing the latest challenge to you "Zoo Crew," which includes any project that features an animal. I thought this card card is perfect for the occasion since it is SO colorful and festive! This A2 sized card design features the 5458 - Llama Set, which is part of Ai's Funny Farm collection. For more details on how I created this card keep reading below.

The background paper is from a 6 x 6 Birthday Bash paper pack by Pink Paislee. I believe I purchased this paper pack from JoAnn. I used the largest oval shape from the 5065 - Oval Double Stitched Die Set to cut the front panel directly behind the llama image.

I loved all the colors featured on the background paper and I wanted to incorporate them into the llama's accessory pieces. All the images were colored with my Copic markers. I used E40's to color the llamas and the clay pots. I used a wide variety of colors on the accessory pieces.

I used foam tape to attach the cactus, llamas, and the sentiment strip to the card front. I love the "You're Lla-mazing" sentiment.

To finish the card I added enamel dots to coordinate with all of the colors on the background paper.

Hope you enjoyed this festive card! Check back next week for more Ai inspiration made by me!

Thanks Bri! What a fun and festive card.
